Dickson Industrial Insight & Innovation Inc. (DI3) has experience with consulting engineering firms that goes back to the days of pouring over tall stacks of printed ‘specs’ and the accompanying roll of drawings.

DI3 draws upon a group of manufacturers equal to the task so that from the very onset of any enquiry or project, the fundamentals of an open and progressive design experience are established during the very first conversation.

Experience with all manner of projects allows DI3 to respond within an hour or two if your client requests 'just a ballpark price and a typical drawing’ while also having the patience and good faith to work cooperatively on international projects with sales horizons measured in years.

Often, when called in to review preliminary designs, DI3 has the insight to discover subtle flaws that would have been revealed only upon commissioning. As well, demonstrating an innovative approach requires genuine confidence to suggest alternatives and this expertise has allowed engineering firms to improve their proposals and increase their chances of securing and delivering trouble free projects.

Responding to the very real demands of project managers as they advance their projects and the obligation for impeccable documentation is not always easy. Adhering to the highest ethical standards, while overseeing the paper trail, is standard operating procedure at DI3.

Macawber Engineering pioneered the use of dense-phase pneumatic conveying when asked in 1974 to convey 3” lump coal. Successful installations around the globe now number more than 6,000 and they easily manage the transportation of ash, minerals, cement, foundry and fracking sands, raw and prepared foods as well as coke, biomass and related fuels.

Knowing the difference between vacuum, dilute and dense-phase conveying systems and the criteria to determine their use is critically important if your client’s design is to be perfect. DI3 has the experience that will allow you to justify your equipment selection while optimizing your overall design.
